Mahalingham Sinnathamby disappeared on or about 25 August 2005 from an unknown location and was presumed dead. He was last confirmed alive on 25 August 2005 at approximately 10:00 AM and was reported missing on 24 November 2005. Mr Sinnathamby's youngest daughter had died from injuries related to attempted suicide in February 2005, deeply affecting him. He blamed a man named Ranjit Sahasranaman for defrauding his daughter and her husband of $85,000, and family members reported he intended to confront Sahasranaman about this. Police investigations, including criminal inquiries, were conducted but found no evidence of foul play and no charges were laid. The coroner determined that Mr Sinnathamby is deceased but the cause and date of death remain unknown. The police file remains open for periodic review.
